FG To Prevent APC From Forming Parallel Government by ShowYourCertificate: 8:07am On Jan 27, 2015
The Presidency on Sunday said it would resist any attempt by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to form a parallel government should President Goodluck Jonathan get elected in next month’s presidential election.

It further accused the opposition party of planning to instigate political crisis in the country if it failed to win the presidency.

The Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, who chairs the presidential amnesty programme disclosed this in Port Harcourt while addressing an ethnic nationality summit, which attracted leadership of the various youths organizations drawn from the Niger Delta.

Reacting to threats by the APC to form an alternative government if it did not win the February 14 presidential election, Kuku revealed that the presidency was resolute on making the 2015 election free and fair but would resist attempt by any political party or group to cause mayhem after the election.

“If the APC is confident that it would win the presidential elections, why should the party now resort to threats? Nigeria is too big for any group of people to contemplate the idea of forming an alternative government when there already exists a legitimate administration voted into office by Nigerians,” Kuku said.

Going down memory lane, he stated that some politicians who were now members of the APC had, before the 2011 general election, threatened that there would be unrest if Jonathan won the election.

He noted that after the election, violence was unleashed, resulting in the death of many persons including members of the National Youth Service Corps. None of the chieftains of APC, he said, ever condemned the wanton destruction of lives and property in 2011.

The presidential aide assured that Jonathan would continue to run the affairs of the country notwithstanding the distractions posed by unwarranted opposition to his policies.

Citing the Boko Haram insurgency as one major indicator that the president did not believe in the resort to violence to resolve issues, Kuku said the president had offered amnesty to Boko Haram members on several occasion to no avail.

According to him, “Because of this, the government finds it disturbing that some persons are bent on taking vengeance against the former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Onyeabor Ihejirika, just because he tried to combat Boko Haram to preserve the unity of the country.”

The Special Adviser disclosed that measures were being worked out to make Anambra State a part of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) since it had become an oil producing state.

Then Jonathan should do the needful and stop wasting Nigerians time.
Already he has shown he can't keep to his words by contesting for SECOND TERM.

So what FG is saying is that elections will be rigged and APC will be prevented from forming parallel government? If APC failed to form parallel government if the election is rigged then we the Nigerians might adopt Bokina Faso solution.This same FG made sure the lawyers called off their strike because of Buhari and failed to convince the Doctors to do so.If Jonathan will win(God forbid)let him win convincingly, else the government is calling for another wéti é.Simple.

IT WILL DEFINITIVELY HAPPEN IF ANYONE RIGS THIS ELECTION WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.
OTHERWISE, THE MILITARY WILL JUST TAKE CONTROL.
Anybody that says GEJ has not done anything is surely a hypocrite. But, all these achievements are not LAUDABLE. For God's sake, Is it there father's money they used to do it? It is not tax payers money? We gave them the mandate to serve us and to manage our money. You and I pay tax directly and indirectly everyday. You bought a fairly used car for four hundred thousand naira and you would have to pay about two hundred thousand naira again (custom duties, insurance, plate number, blablabla) to be able to drive it. The revenue our leaders generate everyday is just too much compared to what we are given back. We pay service charge of N750 to PHCN monthly whether we see light or not and many other ways Govt just extort from us daily. Quoting from all the things you listed as GEJ's achievement in six years is a tip of the iceberg of what can be achieved of a selfless and good leader. GEJ refurbished trains of the 1970s with the same amount of money Japan and South Africa used to make X3 new ones. GEJ built fed unis that are not well equipped and sponsored. Have you been to any of the newly built fed unis? I have been to two recently, fut kebbi and fut Oye for Job interviews. All you will mostly see are big painted empty structures. One thing I just hate Nigerians do is, when i see them praise leaders that have stolen 1000 naira and give them 10 naira back. When is all these nonsense going to stop? I AM NOT SAYING THAT GEJ IS THE ALL-CORRUPT. Corruption is everywhere in this country which many top civil servants, bosses, legislators and other government officials are responsible for but, WHAT IS GEJ BEING THE PRESIDENT DOING ABOUT IT Today; this is a country police men collect bribe from people in the open! this is a country where some people will be asked to pay about N150,000 just to get civil defense, police, army, e.t.c job! This is a country where it has been very hard for our leaders to IMPLEMENT the N18,000 minimum wage that has been passed in the national assembly for the past two years yet, OUR LEGISLATORS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVES COLLECT THE HIGHEST SALARIES IN THE WORLD with many ridiculous allowances! This is country where a governor will refuse to pay workers salary yet, he will do a 20 million naira ridiculous advert for GEJ's re-election. This a country where INEC can not provide us enough PVC for the past three months yet, they made a budget of 75 billion naira! For God's sake, HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO MAKE A PLASTIC I.D CARD? As far as I'm concerned, GEJ is a disappointment. He promised to give us stable electric power in four years and he has spent more than six years now. OBJ squandered about 20 billion dollars in eight years in the course, GEJ has also spent about 30 billion dollars in the course too in the last six years with no result. WHY IS IT HARD FOR OUR GOVERNMENT TO GIVE US STABLE POWER IN THIS COUNTRY In the last 14 years now, about 50 billion dollars has been stolen and wasted on power project. TEXAS is just a single state in the U.S bigger than Nigeria in size. Their power generating plant only cost two billion dollars to make! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO NIGERIA We all just need to think beyond tribe and religion when selecting leaders. I have said it before and will say it again that: giving GEJ another four years will only make things worse.
A leader that said stealing is not corruption.
A leader that condemned Buhari's regime for imprisoning a THIEF! (Nwobodo). I have seen someone burnt alive just for stealing a mobile phone not worth than N20,000.
WHAT WE REALLY NEED IN THIS COUNTRY NOW IS REVOLUTION!!! Never the less, GMB is just a better option we have for now.

APC said "IF THE ELECTION IS RIGGED" and we stand by APC on this.

PDP/GEJ should rig the election and be ready to contend with the multitude of problems that will befall them.

This is a valid threat and very logical.


Compare this with the threats of the Niger-Delta militants to blow pipelines to the north if GEJ is not supported. Why do we hold election then if we all MUST support their "son"? Useless people.

Shocking Atrocities Committed By APC’s
Presidential Candidate General Muhammadu Buhari

1. Buhari was in full support of all the atrocities of
Sani Abacha against the Nigerian people. There is
no single record of his criticism of Sani
Abacha during those dark days when Nigeria was
on precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of
convenience. In fact On the 10th anniversary of
Abacha’s demise, Buhari said that Abacha stole
nothing from Nigeria! Despite millions of Dollars
recovered from banks around the world and the
Abacha family signing a formal agreement to return
over $1 billion dollars, Buhari still said that,
Abacha’s stealing remains an unproved
allegation!!!! Why? Because Abacha set Buhari up
like an emperor and let him use oil money from
theNiger Delta to develop the North without
supervision or questions.
2. He supervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases
filled with cash through the MMA against the
protest of General Tunde Idiagbon and
ironically,Abubakar Atiku, the then Director General
of Customs, who later became the Vice President
and a compromised politician himself. This
smuggling of the suit cases were supervised by
buharis ADC, Col. Mustapha Jokolo
3. That obnoxious Decree 4 by buhari, against
which truth was no defence, was used to jail
journalists, an attempt to shut-up the media as a
whole. That tyrannical legislation of buhari shows
the essence of his intolerance…..He jailed Ndukar
Irabor and Tunde Thompson of “The Guardian” on
stories that were factually true. He again told
Nigerian journalists then that, it did not matter
whether the story reported was true or not, if his
regime did not like it, the writer would go to jail.
facts of recent history.
4. Mrs. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter, was
sacked on Buhari’s orders as military ruler, for
reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her in
an interview about how the missing, $2.8 Billion
money, while buhari was petroleum minister, was
traced to Buhari’s account at Midland Bank,
London branch. In view of this, OBJ scraped PTF
over Buhari’s misappropriation. Vera eventually
won her case in court after providing evidence, and
was financially compensated.
5. He convinced all the northern political leaders
against allowing the National Identity card program
because according to him, this would unravel the
myth of Northern population majority.
6. He has never been able to account to Nigerians
what he did with the 20 billion Naira of the
Petroleum Trust Fund of which he was the
chairman under Sani Abacha. Also, He has not
been able to point to any project he prosecuted
outside Northern Nigeria with the trust fund.
7. Buhari, as part of his tribalistic practices, placed
President Shagari under house arrest inside a
palatia mansion in Ikoyi, while he locked up
Shagari’s Vice, Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri
Prison.Shagari is Hausa/Fulani like him while Alex
Ekwueme is an Igboman.
8. Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu,
another Igboman who had just returned from 13
years of exile in 1982, following a pardon by then
president, Shehu Shangri, was as well locked up in
Kiri-Kiri Prison by Buhari. Till this day, we are not
told what Ojukwu’s offence was.
9. Buhari discriminated against persons from other
ethnic groups/faiths; and as PTF chairman, he
employed an overwhelming numberof Fulani/
Hausa/Moslem people at the detriment of other
groups and concentrated PTF projects in theNorth.
If in doubt, read El Rufai’s book.
10. Buhari snubbed the same Nigerians he now
wants their votes by refusing to appear before
Justice Oputa “Truth and Reconciliation Panel.”
Despite the fact that Buhari knew how important
reconciliation is to the stability of democracy,
buhari has never apologised at anytime.
11. Buhari after locking up Sam Mbakwe, who was
governor of Imo State, from October 1, 1979 to Dec
31, 1983 in jail, he went for one of Mbakwe’s
wives. He established himself for what he was/is
letting Mbakwe receive in jail, news of the death of
another of Mbakwe’s two wives.
12. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, who told his
northern followers never to vote for anyone who
was not a muslim and he is a coup plotter who
overthrow a civilian government.
13. He is an oligarch who does not believe in
equality before the law. The way he jailed Lateef
Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Pa Adekunle Ajasin, Chief
Ayo Ojewumi on cases that had no foundation and
allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then Niger State
governor, who was arrested in Heath row Airport in
London with 14 million (Pounds sterling) and
several millions of Naira and dollars to be under
house arrest is my evidence. (Ayo Ojewumi
became blind as a result of his imprisonment over
false charges and died shortly after)
14. Against all canons of legal decency, Buhari
executed Lawal Ojuolape (30), BernardOgedengbe
(29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26). To put it quite
plainly, one of those three –Ogedengbe – was
executed for a crime that did not carry a capital
forfeit at the time it was committed.
15. After the military government of Major-General
Muhammadu Buhari took power, Prof Ambrose Ali,
one time governor of (Bendel) state, who had
already retired from politics, was arrested and
sentenced to 100 years in prison by buhari’s
military tribunal over trumped up charges. He was
finally freed when the Esama of Benin, Chief
Gabriel Igbinedion, paid a fine to buhari’governme
nt. Ambrose Ali died shortly after his release.
16. Gen Buhari allowed Shehu Kangiwa, the then
Sokoto State Governor from 1979-1981, who
conducted and supervised the famous “Bakolori
Massacre” of poor peasant farmers, whose lands
were seized without compensation, to remain
under a very comfortable house arrest, without
punishment or proper imprisonment.
17. In 2011 Buhari’s CPC loyalists massacred and
lynched Nigerian youth corpers after the last
election. A refined politician is expected to tender
an apology on behalf of the ignorant loyalists,
buhari refused to apologise. He said, the mob were
angry because they felt the election was rigged. Is
that sufficient to take the life of another?
18. Buhari pretended to have forgotten, his CPC
party, rigged the election by registering under aged
voters. He who comes to equity must come with
clean hands.
19. On the 4th of September, 1984, minutes before
leaving Nigeria for an extensive tour of the US, Fela
Anikulapo Kuti was arrested at the airport of Lagos
on orders of Buhari and was jailed for 5 years, on
bogus charges under emergency law initiated by
dictator buhari, which prompted the sentencing
judge to later confess that, he was ordered to do
so and apologized to Fela. Get Fela’s (Army
Arrangement) song for more expose’.
20. Mallam El-rufai who now sings buhari’s praise
famously said on Oct, 5th 2010 that ” General
Buhari is perpetually unelectable because his
record as military head of state and afterwards, is
a warning that many nigerians in the past have
wisely heeded. His insensitivity to Nigeria’s
diversity and his parochial focus are already well-
known.” El-Rufai again said: “I was 25 years old
when Buhari was Head of State and now am 50+
and he still wants to be President, i don’t
understand that, i don’t understand that at all and
I call on young people of Nigeria to take their
future into their hands and ensure in the next
election, they vote for a new generation of leaders.
A leopard can never, ever change it’s spots.
Nigerians, do not be deceived,vote wisely. Facts
and not fiction. Nigerians, behold the real buhari

20 REASONS WHY NIGERIANS HAVE REJECTED
BUHARI SINCE 2003
By Silk O Austin
For the Career Buharists, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd) is the “messiah”. Any attempt to set
the records straight by highlighting the dark days
of Buhari is viewed by these people as being
paranoid.
They would ask you, who is scared of Buhari if not
corrupt people? In the real sense of it, I don’t think
anyone (including a kid from my home town) is
scared of Buhari. Some of us that talk about him
do so to establish the facts because he has been
living an image-laundered life.
Within these few days, lots of people have seen
that Buhari didn’t build any refinery for Nigeria. He
has no legacy despite ruling the country with iron-
fist for almost 2 years. He is indeed corrupt as
shown by this article and again, no Igbo have
worked or working for Buhari, neither did any Igbo
marry his daughter. These are the laundered image
he has been living on for a long time now.
Facts are sacred, but not to the Career Buharists.
To them, Buhari is God’s ‘gift’ to mankind and the
most popular politician that can solve our
numerous problems in a jiffy. Behind these
accolades from his admirers, is a man that has
lost presidential elections three times
consecutively. In 2003, over 24 million Nigerian
rejected him. The same number rejected him in
2007 and in 2011; about 22 million rejected him.
The excuse has been that, he was rigged out, but
facts and figures proved that he is definitely
unelectable as shown below:
Northwest (Buhari’s strongest base) - 6,453, 437
(60%) voted for Buhari and3,395,724 (32%) for
Jonathan
Southeast – 20, 560 voted for Buhari and 5, 661,
177 (97%) for Jonathan
Northeast - 3,624,919 (62%) voted for Buhari and
1,832,622 (32%) for Jonathan
South-south – 49, 978 voted for Buhari and 6, 112,
608 (95%) for Jonathan
Southwest - 321, 609 voted for Buhari and 2, 786,
417 for Jonathan
North-central – 1, 744, 575 voted for Buhari and 3,
376, 570 for Jonathan
Further analysis shows that, in Buhari’s State –
Katsina, he scored 1, 163, 919votes and Jonathan
got 428, 392 votes. But in Jonathan’s State –
Bayelsa, he scored only 691 votes while Jonathan
got 504, 811 votes. Mere looking at the figures
proves that Buhari is unelectable or does it mean
that Jonathan also out-rigged him in his region?
These millions of Nigerians that have been
rejecting him since 2003 despite his ‘popularity’ do
so for the following reasons:
1. He Is A Hypocrite And Sanctimonious: Buhari is
a self-acclaimed anti-corruption Czar, yet he
served under late Sani Abacha without complaining
of corruption. In the same period Buhari served as
PTF Chairman under Abacha, Nigeria was named
the 2nd most corrupt country in the world in 1996
by Transparency International; the most corrupt
country in 1997 and 3rdmost country in 1998.
Buhari didn’t resign or protest. He dismissed the TI
Report with a wave of the hand. Can he do the
same if such report says Nigeria is the most
corrupt country in 2014? I know that Buhari would
protest and call President Jonathan names.
Buhari as a man of integrity as he claims should
have done what Tai Solarin, DuroOnabule and
EbituUkiwe did under IBB’s regime. IBB’s attempt
to take Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic
Countries (OIC) made his Chief of General Staff,
EbituUkiwe to resign. Ukiwe maintained that
Nigeria, as a country, should not be a member of a
religious organisation. Individual organisation can
take up membership of religious organisations, but
not the country. IBB made Tai Solarin the chairman
of Peoples Bank with no fund and power to run it;
he resigned and tendered his apology to Nigerians.
Buhari has not apologized to Nigerians for working
for the most corrupt government in the world then,
but he still maintains that Abacha didn’t loot
Nigeria dry even as Abacha loots are still being
sent back to Nigeria.
When he took over power by the gun, he supported
rigging because it favoured him. But now, he is
shouting of rigging. Hear him:
“The last general election was anything but free
and fair. The only political parties that could
complain of election rigging are those parties that
lacked the resources to rig.” - M. Buhar (First
Speech after Military Coup, 31 December, 1983)
2. He Is A Religious Fanatic And Extremist: Buhari
believes that his religion is superior to other
religions and that Koran supersedes our
constitution. In 2001, he gave his total support for
Sharia with this statement:
“I will continue to show openly and inside me the
total commitment to the Sharia movement that is
sweeping all over Nigeria. God willing, we will not
stop the agitation for the total implementation of
the Sharia in the country.”- M. Buhari (August 27,
2001)
He made the above statement after he had gone to
BBC Hausa Service to condemn the then Vice
President, AtikuAbubakar for urging Muslims states
who adopted Sharia to return to the status quo.
If you think that these statements mean nothing,
then envision what would happen if a notable
Christian political leader from the south make the
same statement about spreading Christianity
across Nigeria.
Prior to the 2003 elections, he made another
shocking statement:
“Muslims should only vote those who will promote
Islam. We are more than the Christians if you add
our Muslim brothers in the West.”- M. Buhari
(2003)
3. He Introduced Kidnapping And Smuggling Into
The Nigeria System:The story of UmaruDikko is
already well known that repeating it here amounts
to tautology. However, Buhari and his ADC Col.
Mustapha Jokolosupervised the smuggling of 53
suitcases filled with cash against the protests of
TundeIdiagbon and ironically, AbubakarAtiku (an
APC bigwig), was the former DG of Customs. Do
you still need to know why Buhari has never
accused Atiku of being corrupt?
4. He Is Not A Man of His Words: Buhari cried in
public and said he won’t contest elections again,
yet couldn’t keep his words:
“This campaign is the third and last one for me;
since, after it, I will not present myself again for
election into office of the president.” – M. Buhari
(April, 2011 at the Int’l Conference Centre, Abuja)
Then again in 2014, he swallowed his words with
this:
“I humbly present myself to all Nigerians and to
God, seeking to be elected as APC’s presidential
candidate.” - M. Buhari (Oct., 15, 2014 Eagle
Square Abuja)
5. He Is An Ethnic Bigot Who Thinks That Vendetta
Is Fighting Corruption: After Buhari and his boys
overthrew the government of Shagari with the sole
reason that the government was highly corrupt, he
locked up Dr Alex Ekwueme – the then VP in Kirikiri
maximum prison but left Shagari – the president
and Head of government in his mansion. Ekwueme
was tried by the tribunal set-up by Buhari and the
tribunal declared that he was even poorer than he
was before he came into office. Yet, Buhari jailed
him and allowed Shagari to relax in his mansion.
He gave Dede Sam Mbakwe 100-year jail term for
stealing nothing and also went after his wife.
Ambrose Ali was tried for an undeveloped plot of
land and he was jailed for 75 years with heavy
torture that led to blindness and later death. Jim
Nwobodo and Lateef Jakande were jailed for 100
years for stealing nothing. AdekunleAjasin was tried
by a military tribunal and found innocent. Buhari
ordered a fresh trial, he was found innocent again.
Buhari changed the tribunal and tried him again.
He was still found innocent. Buhari still jailed him.
But, Buhari left his personal friend – Awwal
Ibrahim – the then highly corrupt governor of Niger
State who was arrested at Heathrow airport with
£14 million. Awwal was never jailed. He was
placed under house arrest in his mansion like
Shagari for just two weeks and indeed released.
6. He Is A Coupist: Buhari has no moral ground to
stand for an election in Nigeria because he’s a
destroyer of democracy and can never benefit from
it. He overthrew a duly elected government and
ruled illegitimately until he was kicked out. For
those that claim he was invited, go read the recent
interview by Chief Ebenezer Babatope on why Chief
Solomon Lar was imprisoned by Buhari.
7. He Doesn’t Talk or Act Like An Elder-statesman:
He makes provocative statements that are capable
of putting the country in crisis. This attitude
caused the death of over 800 innocent lives
including about 10 Corp members after he lost the
2011 elections. A man who considers himself as
an elder-statesman and wants to rule Nigeria
again should not be talking this way:
“God willing, by 2015, something will happen. They
either conduct a free and fair election or they go a
very disgraceful way. If what happened in 2011
should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God,
the dog and baboon would all be soaked in blood.”
– M. Buhari
“2015 will be bloody…” – M. Buhari
Buhari snubbed the same Nigerians he now wants
their votes by refusing to appear before Justice
Oputa Truth and Reconciliation Panel. Buhari knew
how important reconciliation is to the stability of
democracy, yet he refused to appear before the
panel.
8. He Cannot Formulate A Good Economic Policy:
True to that, Buhari is the only former Head of
State without a legacy. Not even one, despite ruling
with iron-fist for 2 years. Someone said,
Environmental sanitation is his legacy LOL and I
ask, how has that improved our economy? Or is
Nigeria now the cleanest country in the world with
a booming tourism industry? And again, those that
attended his declaration were disappointed as he
couldn’t present a manifesto on how he can solve
the numerous problems confronting Nigeria. We
keep hearing from the Buharists: “I will fight
corruption; I will stop corruption; I will end
corruption.” How? By mouth?
Recall what BBC said about Buhari’s economic
policy: “Buhari’s attempts to re-balance public
finances by curbing imports led to many job losses
and the closure of businesses. These losses were
accompanied by a rise in prices and a decline in
living standards.”
His economic policy started the devaluation of
naira. During Shagari/Ekweme’s regime, $1 =
N0.550 but before the end of his tenure in 1985, $1
= N0.894.
9. He Clamped Down On The Press: With the
infamous Decree 4, he closed down Newspapers,
arrested and jailed many journalists such as
NdukarIrabor and Tunde Thompson of the Guardian
Newspaper on stories that were factual. He told
the Nigerian journalists then that it did not matter
whether the story reported was true or not, if his
regime did not like it, the writer would go to jail.
At a point Tai Solarin became the only voice who
could speak as he stood at the road corner and
was distributing leaflets detailing the various
atrocities of Buhari. He arrested and jailed him. In
prison, he was denied his asthmatic drug. He was
released by IBB and later died of complication from
the torture he suffered in prison.
10. He Is Not A Man of Principle And Integrity:
Since 2003, Buhari has been jumping from one
party to another in his desperate and endless quest
to rule Nigeria. He started with ANPP in 2003 to
CPC in 2011 and, now in APC.
11. He Has No Regard For Human Rights: Mrs.
Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then, was
sacked for reporting what Dr.OlusolaSaraki had
told her in an interview about how the missing
money was traced to Buhari’s account at Midland
Bank London branch. Vera eventually won her case
of wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and
was financially compensated.
Dim EmekaOdimegwuOjukwu, who returned from
13 years exile, just a little over a year then, was as
well locked up in Kirikiri Prison by Buhari. Up till
today we were not told what his offence was.
BusariAdelakun died of ulcer because Buhari
refused him to be taken out of prison for medical
attention. The then Gov. of Ogun State,
BisiOnabanjo suffered similar fate which we were
told led to his untimely death.
For using the US$2.8bn to sing, Buhari jailed
FelaAnikulapo -Kuti on trumped up charges under
emergency law which prompted the sentencing
judge to confess that he was ordered to do so and
apologised to Fela. It was Buhari’s administration
that said it has “decided to deal with this Fela
problem once and for all.”
Buhari used retrogressive law to execute three
Nigerians: LawalOjuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe
(29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26). One of those
three – Ogedengbe – was executed for a crime
that did not carry capital punishment at the time it
was committed.
12. He Is Corrupt: That a blind man doesn’t see
the sun don’t mean the sun is not up in the sky.
That Buhari has not been jailed for corrupt
practices doesn’t mean he is not corrupt, after-all,
nobody has jailed IBB, OBJ etc., yet people say
they’re corrupt. Buhari has never been able to
account to Nigerians what he did with the N25
billion missing in PTF of which he was the
chairman. Shagari incurred Buhari’s wrath when he
decided to investigate the US$2.8 billion that
disappeared from NNPC account and traced to the
Midland Bank, London. Justice Ayo Irikefe panel
was set-up and Saraki headed the Senate
committee. The following were unequivocally
discovered:
Firstly, a judicial panel was set up to trace the
$2.8billion (Justice Ayo Irikefe panel).Secondly, a
senate committee was also set up to trace the
$2.8billion (headed by the elder Saraki).The
findings of the senate committee were reported live
on NTA by Vera Ifudu.Buhari overthrew the
government to burn and shred the evidence.Buhari
got Vera Ifudu sacked. Vera Ifudu and the NTA
went to court.Vera Ifudu won her case, got
reinstated and was paid compensation.
A man that procured a loan of N27.5million to
purchase his presidential form using man-know-
man approach is definitely corrupt. Buhari ought to
live by example.
13. He Is A Pretender And Deceiver: Buhari claims
that he has no foreign bank account, no booming
business, no house in Lagos or Abuja. He has 2
houses: one in Katsina and the other in Kaduna.
Yet he has been contesting elections since 2003
and pursuing it up to the Supreme Court with his
team of SANs. The minimum appearance fee for a
SAN at the Presidential election case at the
Supreme Court is N25 million. Where did he get
this money? Can he tell us his sponsors? He
borrowed N27.5 million to buy a form, yet he
moves around in Chattered aircraft each time he
wants to fly which is costlier than owing one.
Buhari is definitely a pretender.
14. He Is A Tribalist: Since his days as a Head of
State, he only appointed his people in important
positions. As the chairman of PTF, he employed an
overwhelming number of Fulani/Hausa/Moslem at
the detriment of other groups and concentrated
PTF projects in the North. He used the company of
his in-law – (Salihijo Ahmad), Afri-Projects
Consortium in executed all the projects. He
shamelessly executed about 74% of the projects in
the north and 26% in the entire south according to
PTF Situation Report (Vol 2, 98).
15. He Has Soft-spot For Boko Haram: Buhari
made the following statements which support Boko
Haram:
“The declaration of state of emergency in three
Northern states of Adamawa, Borno andYobe is a
grave injustice against the North.” – M. Buhari
(Liberty Radio, June 2, 2013)
“…when the Niger Delta militants started their
activities in the South-South, they were invited by
the late President UmaruYar’adua. An aircraft was
sent to them and their leaders met with the late
President in Aso Rock and discussed issues. They
were given money and a training scheme was
introduced for their members. But when the Boko
Haram emerged in the north, members of the sect
were killed”. – M. Buhari (Liberty Radio, Kaduna
May 14 2012)
But on Ombatse, his tone changed because they
killed Fulanis:
“…But those that killed the 56 security men must
be hunted and prosecuted no matter how long it
will take because this is the bottom line about law
and order, and security in the country. They can’t
be forgiven, they can’t override the constitution,
Nigerians are being hurt and killed in their duties
and those that killed them must be brought before
the law.” - M. Buhari
16. He Is Anti-development: Buhari stopped the
Lagos metro rail even when the military
Administrator for Lagos State, alerted him that on
the clause in the contract ($60 million metro rail
project) agreement that would yoke the state into
debt, if the contract was cancelled unilaterally. He
replied: “Mudashiru, I don’t care”. Although the
fund for the execution of the project which would
have given Lagosians an intra-city light train
transport system would not have come from
Buhari’s Supreme Military Council, Buhari,
cancelled this project of the state government, with
ethnicity on his mind. Till date no Nigerian city has
metro rail. Buhari out of jealousy of the leadership
acumen of Dede Sam Mbakwe, he stopped all the
wonderful projects initiated by him in Imo State
when he overthrew the Shagari’s govt. Yet, Buhari
left the government without a legacy. What a man!
17. He Hates Education: Just like Boko Haram,
Buhari is a supporter of the almajir system. No
wonder President Goodluck Jonathan is the person
that established the first and only federal university
in Katsina State – Buhari’s State and 100s
almaijiri’s model schools across the northern
region. People like Buhari are against the almajiri
schools.
18. He Is Weak: It is a fact that TundeIdiagbo was
the brain and pillar behind the government of
Buhari. No wonder Buhari was thrown out in what
was regarded as a Palace Coup when Idiagbo went
to Mecca. If Buhari that ruled with absolute power
and iron-fist couldn’t protect his government from
being overthrown by junior officers, how could he
safeguard and protect Nigeria in this turbulent
time.
19. He Is A Product of Corruption And Nepotism:
The manner and swiftness Buhari rise in the army
can only be possible in a system where nepotism
reign supreme. At 21, Buhari was cadet trainee; at
23 he was promoted as Commander 2nd Infantry
Battalion; at 25 he was appointed Brigade Major, 2
Sector 1st Infantry Division; at 28, he was
promoted Brigade Major and Commander, 31st
Infantry Brigade; at 29 he was promoted Assistant
Adjutant-General 1st Infantry Division
Headquarters; at 34 he was appointed the military
governor of North-Eastern State; at 39 he was
appointed Chairman NNPC and GOC, 3rd Armoured
Division, Jos, 1981-83; at 42, he shot his way to
Dodan Barracks as Head of State. Most of these
promotions were with no further education/
training.
Buhari’s kids and people still use Quota system
education (to enable them go to school) and
federal character for them to get jobs. Imagine
when a kid from Ebonyi State needs to score
minimum of 112 in Common Entrance exams and
another kid from Sokoto (a state that is older than
Nigeria), Yobe etc., need only 9 and 2 respectively
in the same exam. Remember that these kids wrote
the same exam, in the same country, at the same
time and answered the same questions. What
corruption is worse than this? Yet Buhari has never
condemned it.
20. Buhari Is Just Perpetually Unelectable: To
those that still think Buhari would one day rule
Nigeria again, ask Nasir El-rufai, he has the
answer:
